A moment to remember.

For all that don't know today is the 95th aniversary of the Great War ending. It is the equivalent to Veterans Day to the British, Australian and Canadian I believe. Today we all take a moment to remember those who died on both sides of the Great War, and every war since.

They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them.
 
Same here in Canada (Still a Commonwealth country)

John McCrae (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918)

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
